DISK AND SHEET-MUSIC HOLDER.

T, L J, H W Presented [at Application filed. Z-iiarch 5, 1915. Serial its. 12,472.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY ROSENBERG, a citizen of the United States, and. resident of the city of N eW York, in the county oi Bronx 5 and State of New York, have invented is certain new and useful Im roved Disk and Sheet-Music Holder, of which the following is a specification. My invention. relates to holders for phogio nogreph disks, sheet music and for other purposes which are provided with hinged index flaps fixed. on the edge of the holder, on the face of which flap, the name of the composition impressed on the disk or music 15 sheet may be Written, in order that the same may be found instantly.

A further ,object is to protect the face of the disk against dust and moisture,

At present phonograph disks are prefer- 29 ably kept in cabinets, and e'chert must be provided with a list of the names of the compositions W1lilil9ll thereon. The disks are set on edge over it given number, that corresponds with the number oi the chart. 275 But the face of the disk has no protection, and in drawing the some from the cabinet it often happens that the face of the disk is marred. The impressions being very delicate much injury is caused and the tunes Eu er-e partially destroyed.

The object of my holder is to avoid these conditions. I

When used for: sheet music the composition is easily selected from the bundle of 85 sheets in which they are q'enerelly kept. The sheets are kept in fiat condition, and thus retain their form, so that they may beeasily read.

In the use of my holder, by turning the 4% flap down or sidewise, the title can beeasily read and the correct piece instantly found, thus saving the sheets against Wear and tear. In the drawing like figures represent like parts.

In the drawing Figure 1, is a side view of the holder showing the phonograph disk contained therein, and the name of the composition Written on the hinged lisp. Fig. 2 is a cross section on lines 22 showing 543 the open end of the holder. Fig. 3is a cross section on lines 3+3 of Fig. 1.

In Fig. 1, 10 indicates the body of the holder; 11 indicates the index upon which the name of the song is written: 12 indicates 55 a space out out of the side of the holder in order to be able to withdrew the disk 13 easily; 1% indicates the flap; 1:) shows the binder and protecting covering, which preferably of strong fiber zinc. which holds the two sections of the holder together, while so at the same time it protects the edges from being torn.

16 is the hinge by which the flop 14 is attached to the end of the holder.

=In the construction of the holder I prefer to use very tough paper, although the body of the holder may be constructed of leather or other suitable material. The binding} may also be made of other material, although I ureter to use a strong fiber bindin ing, to which glue will adhere and thus the parts are firmly held together and at the some time protected e nst the edges tearing or freyingv I eier to overlap the binding at the corners to give greater strength and. protection. The flap ii is formed by placing it strip of card board he tween the two edges of e strip oi? :lubric provided with a proper adhesive binding inziterieh then overlapping the fabric around said cardboard and securing the tubric together to form or flexible hinge 16 at :1. point between the inner of said cord board and the dish holder, and finally securing the inner free edges of the fabric on both outer sides of one edge of the said disk holder throughout its length, thus, forming o binding: therefor, and here provided preferably 51 white sur on the face of the Hap to receive the writ: This may be provided on both sides oi mo thin,

so that the title may be seen from either side.

In use the disk is placed in the l l and an edge protrudes beyond the space out out so that the disk may be easily with drawn.

Having described my invention What I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent is:

1. In a phonograph disk holder, the combination of the body pieces 10, 10 three of the edges thereof being held together with the fiber binding 15, and. one side open with a recess out out, the binding on one of said three edges being extended to fori'n e flexibly'hinged fiap, said flap bovine; a. space 11 to receive the name of the reposition on the disk substantially es do. ihcd and set forth.

is an article oi manufacture it disk holder having one open end, the other edges being, held together with {L fiber binding, and having upon one of said other edges :1 fiexihiy hinged flap provided with space to write upon substantially as described.

25 As an article of nmnufaeture a disk holder having one open end, the other edges being: heul together with a fiber binding, and. having upon one of said other edges a flexibly hinged flap provided with space to Write upon, and reinforcing means within 10 said flap, substantially ls-described.

Signed at New York in the county of New Yoi'k and State of New York this 24 day of February A. D. 1915.
